THE YEAR IN REVIEW
OUR MISSION The North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities (NCCDD) works collaboratively, across the state, to assure that people with intellectual or other developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families participate in the design of, and have access to, needed community services, individualized supports, and other forms of assistance that promote self-determination, independence, productivity and integration and inclusion in all areas of community life through culturally competent programs. The Council awards its funds to help communities become more inclusive of people with I/DD and to promote the goals of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (DD Act) for all North Carolinians with I/DD and their families.

FOCUS ON INCLUSION The North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities (NCCDD) went into its third year of the current Five-Year Plan with an increased and dedicated focus. We continued championing partnerships that will help North Carolina become a more fully inclusive and integrated state for people with intellectual or other developmental disabilities (I/DD). The hard work and support of NCCDD members, legislators, advocates, staff and the entire disability community-at-large continued into the new year with efforts focused on a continued plan with specific and strategic goals and achievable outcomes. The Council’s work and mission are closely tied with our three goals:
l Increase financial security through asset development l Increase community living l Increase advocacy development Throughout the year, the Council and the community worked together to achieve those goals. From hosting Natural Support Network Development community conversations to painting the accessible icon in several Raleigh sites to hosting and participating in Guardianship, and Integrated Care and Sustainability Summits, advocates of all abilities and our Council members showcased their dedication to building an inclusive North Carolina. This year, North Carolina officially became an Employment First State, making employment in the general workforce the first and preferred option for people with disabilities by Governor Roy Cooper signing Executive Order 92! A decade in the making, the efforts of NCCDD, NC Vocational Rehabilitation, NC Division of MH/DD/SAS and others brought this milestone to working-age North Carolinians with disabilities.
THANK YOU, CHRIS EGAN Chris Egan, who joined NCCDD as its Executive Director in June 2014, resigned his position in October 2018 to become the Senior Director of Employment Services for the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. There, he oversees the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR), Division of Services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DSDHH), Disability Determination Services (DDS), the Division of Services for the Blind (DSB), and the NCCDD. NCCDD thanks Senior Director Egan for all his hard work focusing on systems change efforts for people with I/DD in North Carolina.
Building on our lasting partnerships, NCCDD met with NC disability organizations like Project SEARCH, Trillium Health, The Arc of North Carolina and others to get up-to-date information on disability services, discuss our mission and the direction of our work for the disability community going into 2020 and beyond. Honoring the I/DD community and the efforts of advocates, we celebrated the 29th anniversary of the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by being in the community! People from all over the state attended ADA anniversary events and learned how to highlight the progress the ADA has made with different themes throughout the year. We are excited to see what 2020 brings as we continue to work diligently and collaboratively with the community and our statewide partners to build sustainable initiatives that will continue to increase financial security, community living and advocacy networks on behalf of the 1.3 million North Carolinians with disabilities and their families. Sincerely, Alexandra “Alex” McArthur, NCCDD Chair

FIVE YEAR PLAN: YEAR THREE In its third year of the Five-Year Plan (2017-2021), the North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities (NCCDD) is continuing to make an impact across the State towards its three goals of increasing: • Financial Asset Development • Community Living • Advocacy Development Throughout the year, NCCDD supported conferences, summits and gatherings in the community to further its goals of the Five Year Plan. The events focused on guardianship, employment, supports, advocacy, financial stability and community living.
NCCDD IN ACTION NCCDD HOSTS RETHINKING GUARDIANSHIP SUMMIT NCCDD’s Rethinking Guardianship: A Person-Centered Approach initiative hosted the Rethinking Guardianship Summit in February 2019 in Raleigh, which focused on adult guardianship and North Carolina’s laws and practices governing the removal of a person’s right to make life decisions. Nearly 280 people were in attendance at the Royal Banquet & Conference Center and heard messages of support from Senators Richard Burr and Thom Tillis, who contributed to the US Senate Special Committee on Aging’s guardianship report.
CELEBRATING ADA 29 The Council celebrated the 29th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) during ADA week at the end of July 2019 with celebrations in Raleigh, Carrboro, Durham and Charlotte.

EMPLOYMENT FIRST COMES TO NC On March 28, 2019, Governor Roy Cooper signed Executive Order 92: Employment First for North Carolinians with Disabilities, officially making North Carolina an Employment First state. “North Carolina can be its best when all people have the opportunity to achieve their potential and live lives of purpose, including North Carolinians with disabilities,” Gov. Cooper said. “With this order, I’m establishing meaningful work as the first and preferred choice for all North Carolinians, regardless of disability, and directing state government to lead the way on including more people with disabilities in the workplace.” The principles of Employment First include working in integrated settings and earning competitive wages and benefits; securing employment with reasonable and appropriate placement and support; employees with and without disabilities are equally valued and that jobs should match an individual’s work skills, abilities and career choices to the greatest extent possible. The Employment First declaration builds on previous disability employment initiatives like the NC Job Ready initiative, the Hometown Strong initiative, and NCCDD’s EveryBody Works NC campaign, which increased awareness of the skills and expertise in the untapped talent pool of North Carolinians with disabilities. NCCDD was proud to be in attendance and among the speakers to celebrate this achievement.
